TALL DREAM

Bnei Yehuda of Israel goalkeeper Dele Aiyenugba has told AfricanFootball.com he is ready to replace Vincent Enyeama as Nigeria’s top-choice goalkeeper.

 Enyeama has hinted he hopes to soon quit international football after he won a century of caps last Nigeria.

 Former Enyimba shot stopper Aiyenugba said he has learnt a lot from the Lille star and he would be delighted to be recalled by the Eagles to take his place since his last appearance for the country four years ago.

 "It is every player's dream to play for their country and I am always ready to play for Nigeria anytime I am called upon,” Aiyenugba told AfricanFootball.com

 “I played alongside Enyeama at Enyimba and I replaced him at Bnei Yehuda in Israel. Enyeama is great goalkeeper, I respect him a lot and I gained from him a lot."

 He has 17 caps for Nigeria, but has not played for the Eagles since a 2-2 home draw with Guinea in Abuja ensured the country did not qualify for the 2012 AFCON in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea.

 He was blamed for the two goals conceded by Nigeria.
